Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

Rean made a powerful move, unleashing terrifying strength to directly kill a three-star Dou Zong expert from the Tianming Sect. This was undoubtedly a major earthquake within the Wanjian Pavilion.

Not to mention this small branch, even the main branch learned of the news immediately. All the high-ranking officials were shocked and couldn't believe it was true.

After all, although Chen Mu was indeed exceptionally talented, he was not exactly heaven-defying. At the age of forty, it was already quite remarkable that he had reached the mid-stage of Dou Huang, making him one of the best in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

However, he suddenly unleashed the strength of a Dou Zong expert, even surpassing a three-star Dou Zong. This was a completely different concept from his previous five-star Dou Huang; they were geniuses on two completely different levels.

Even in the entire Central Continent, those who reach the Dou Zong realm at the age of forty are few and far between.

A forty-year-old Dou Zong who can kill a three-star Dou Zong expert is not unprecedented, but at least in the entire history of Zhongzhou, he is an extremely rare existence.

The gap between a five-star Dou Huang and a Dou Zong surpassing a three-star Dou Zong is greater than the gap between a Dou Ling and a Dou Huang. Yet, to outsiders, Chen Mu only took a few years, which is simply unbelievable.

As Li En expected, after the news of his killing of the three-star Dou Zong expert of the Tianming Sect reached the headquarters of the Wanjian Pavilion, an envoy soon came to invite him to the headquarters to attend the Pavilion Master's Conference.

The Pavilion Master Conference is the highest meeting attended by all the pavilion masters of the nineteen branch pavilions and the main pavilion of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, as well as a large number of elders. It is rarely held unless a major event concerning the survival of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion occurs.

Upon receiving the envoy's invitation, Rean naturally set off for the main pavilion immediately. What he didn't know was that his mistress had already returned to the pavilion before him.

When Gong Li returned to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, she was unaware that Li En had killed a three-star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Nether Sect. She had returned because she learned of her son Chen Lan's death.

Although she had little affection for Chen Mu and therefore little affection for her son, he was still her own flesh and blood, and now that he was dead, she was naturally extremely angry.

However, her anger was directed at Chen Mu's incompetence, and she was not greatly affected by Chen Lan's death. As soon as she returned, she went directly to his father, Gong Yangyan, and bluntly stated that she wanted to dissolve her marriage with Chen Mu.

Previously, it was because of Chen Lan's existence that Gong Li had not directly confronted Chen Mu, but now that Chen Lan is dead, she no longer needs to maintain such a relationship with Chen Mu.

Most importantly, she met a senior brother in the Pill Tower. He was handsome and witty, and already a genuine eighth-grade alchemist, a true prodigy of the Pill Tower.

This senior brother had been pursuing her relentlessly, even knowing that she was already married and had a child. At first, she remained unmoved, but as time went on and she hadn't received any affection for a long time, she began to waver.

She came back this time to completely sever ties with Chen Mu and then accept her senior brother's pursuit, who also came with her this time.

Originally, after seeing the senior brother that Gong Li brought back, Gong Yangyan also considered giving up on Chen Mu. After all, the Dan Tower disciple named Han Yao was undoubtedly the most outstanding son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion Master.

However, no one expected that just as Gong Yangyan had made his decision, he learned that Chen Mu had unleashed tremendous power and killed a three-star Dou Zong expert in one fell swoop.

That's a three-star Dou Zong, and a three-star Dou Zong from the Tianming Sect at that. His strength is quite terrifying. To kill him, you would need to have at least the strength of a five-star Dou Zong, otherwise he would definitely have a chance to escape.

In other words, even if Chen Mu hasn't reached the five-star Dou Zong level, he should at least be at least a three-star Dou Zong. Gong Yangyan knows very well what a three-star Dou Zong at forty years old means; when he was forty, he was only a seven-star Dou Huang.

Although Gong Yangyan has now entered the Dou Zun realm, and is a three-star Dou Zun, it is estimated that he will find it difficult to make any further progress in his life and will most likely stop there.

There are only three Dou Zun experts in the entire Wan Jian Pavilion, and the other two are only one-star Dou Zun.

This shows how rare and precious Dou Zun experts are to the Myriad Swords Pavilion. Chen Mu, who has broken through to the level of a three-star Dou Zong at the age of only forty, has a much higher chance of breaking through to Dou Zun than other Dou Zongs. He is undoubtedly the most promising young man in the Myriad Swords Pavilion.

Although an eighth-grade alchemist is indeed very precious and has a high status, he is, after all, a member of the Pill Tower. Moreover, Han Yao's own strength is only a two-star Dou Huang. Even if he joins the Myriad Swords Pavilion, it is not certain that he will be able to support the entire family business in the future.

After all, in this world where the strong are respected, although alchemists have a noble status, the most noble are still the true strong, for strength is paramount.

Alchemists, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than tools for the strong to enhance their power.

Therefore, deep down, Gong Yangyan began to favor the incredibly talented Chen Mu, which is why he convened a meeting of pavilion masters and summoned Chen Mu back to the main pavilion.

Inviting Chen Mu to the Pavilion Master's meeting serves two purposes: firstly, it demonstrates the importance placed on him, and secondly, it's necessary to examine whether he has truly reached the level of a three-star Dou Zong or higher. If he has used some forbidden techniques and damaged his foundation, then it would be meaningless.

Just as Li En (Chen Mu) returned to the headquarters of Wan Jian Ge, he also heard some rumors about Gong Li bringing back a handsome senior brother, and the two seemed to be getting closer.

A surge of anger welled up in Rean's heart. He knew it was Chen Mu's soul instinct at work, but it had no effect on him whatsoever; it was merely a subconscious instinct.

However, now that he is Chen Mu, he will not allow anyone to cuckold him. If the two have really slept together, he would not mind turning them into dog meat dumplings.

When Li En returned to his residence in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, he saw a tall woman in a purple gauze dress standing in the courtyard as soon as he entered. He narrowed his eyes slightly. This was none other than his wife, Gong Li.

"You still have the nerve to come back? You're such a useless piece of trash who can't even protect your own son. Why didn't you just die out there?!" Gong Li looked at Li En with a frosty expression, her ample bosom rising and falling slightly as she looked furious.

Rean didn't expect his nominal wife to be so disrespectful, saying such hurtful things in front of the servants. However, considering that she had lost her own son, he could understand to some extent.

But while he understood, he didn't want to tolerate it. He gave a cold laugh and said:
"Son? It's not even certain if he's my biological son. Who knows whose child a slut like you is carrying?"

boom! !

Upon hearing this, Gong Li instantly flew into a rage, unleashing the aura of a peak Dou Wang (Battle King) expert, leveling everything within several miles. (End of Chapter)
